Grendel,

Try Saratoga, 6-27-85. The whole show is one of the best I've heard.

Right you are, Billy....having been at that show, I concur! (I don't recall the DoughKnees being especially hot, but I haven't listened to that one in a while so i'll go back and re-open my ears.)

one thing I do recall well from that show is an EXCELLENT version of the song from which your on-screen "handle" derives--STAGGER LEE...comes right after Phil, Bob & Jerry tell some mentally challenged individual to please stop hanging off a damn balcony "...there's 50,000 people waiting for you to get back in your seat, man!" so they can resume the show....Jerry launches right into a great Stagger after that....

I am NOT a big fan of 1985, even though I saw a whole lot of shows that year--but that SPAC show is definitely an exception....also has a cool "supplication" Jam and a decent (for '85, anyway) CrazyFingers...

thanks for the reminder!
